Russian slang and colloquialisms

Russian, like most of the world's cosmopolitan languages, is a language full of slang and colloquialisms. Here is a list of some common slang words and colloquialisms in Russian, along with their English equivalents (in American slang, if possible). Derogatory words are marked with a 'D,' and rude/offensive words or phrases are marked with an 'X.' Have fun, and please contact me if you have anything I should add.

krúto -- (lit. steep, sharp) this is the most common word for cool, awesome, kickass, etc.

krutóy -- the adjectival form of the previous word, pretty much equivalent to 'cool' in English. Interestingly, not so long ago, the word 'sharp' could be used in English to express pretty much the same thing as 'cool.' The the literal meaning of krutóy is 'sharp.'

pédik -- a gay guy, a homo (not quite as derogatory as fag, I don't think , if it's necessarily derogatory at all

)

perdét' -- to fart

perdún -- a fart

pervodít strélki -- (lit. to transfer the switch/needle) 'to pass the buck,' to put the blame on someone else

pértsy -- (lit. peppers) cool guys, 'the guys,' 'the boys'

pivásik -- beer, from pivo, beer. So I guess this is kind of like saying 'bizeer' or something to that effect

pilít' -- (lit. to saw) to nag, to lecture, to run someone down

pit' zapóem -- to drink heavily, to drink like a fish. Interestingly, you can use this zapoem after other verbs, to get that '-aholic' effect, so that on rabótaet zapóem is 'he's works a hell of a lot,' 'he's a workaholic'

* v natúre -- this, and a few other expressions, are a part of the criminal argot ("fenya"), which is (in the perception of many people) separate from mainstream slang. "Fenya" is an old thieves language.

* Vásja Púpkin -- Vasiliy Pupkin was the name of author of an old and much-disliked school textbook. The name become a symbol of sloppy work and mediocrity.

* ljásy tochít' -- "ljasy", or "balyasiny" is a plural form of the word related to "balustrade". Literally - "to carve the pieces for the wooden staircase" - an easy job with long breaks for conversation.

* mat' -- is also a common short form of "tvoyu mat'" or even "eb tvoyu mat'", the last one is X-rated. Can be used as a direct insult, or as a general expression of frustration.

* Mne v lom -- "v lom" is related to the verb "lomat'" (to break), and the noun "lomka" (withdrawal symptoms, I think I have heard it used in the meaning "bad trip"). Metal scraps are also called "lom", becuase they are a part of something that was broken.

* naezzhát' (na kogo-libo) -- also means to intimidate and terrorize, usually with the the purpose of money extortion.

* narjádnyy -- this is a mainstream word. What is it doing in a slang dictionary?
